Water evaporates, changing from a liquid to a gas called water vapor, at the surface of the oceans. This helps keep the water cycle going by moving water from the oceans to the atmosphere! When the water evaporates, the salt is left behind in the ocean.
Seed Bead Sizing. Seed beads are sized in aughts, which are different than millimeters. The most popular school of thought of the sizing of seed beads states that the size (6/0) refers to the number of seed beads per inch (6 beads per inch).
Originally, the definition of size 11/0 meant that there are 11 beads to the inch, but with delicas it tends to be more like 17 to 22 beads per inch, depending on the finish. In general, there are about 7 grams in each 3 tube of size 11/0. There are around 200 beads in a gram so a tube holds 1400+ beads per tube! The larger size 8/0 Delica has 33 beads per gram, we pack them in a wider tube which holds 9 to 10 grams, again, depending on the finish they can weigh more, holding around 300 beads. Delica beads have a center hole that is larger, which makes them light so you get more beads per gram of weight. And there are very few imperfect beads needing to be culled. Also, each of the colors has a specific number so you can order the exact color you need for your project.
